FHWA Asphalt Pavement Technology Program Improved Durability through Increased Field Compaction A 2% increase in field compaction will increase asphalt pavement service life from 5 to 25%! Today s compaction target is 92% of maximum (Gmm ) or 8% air voids), with varying requirements for the area near the longitudinal joint High D Pavements target is 94% across the entire pavement! Just 2% more makes a huge difference! 37
